Lighting can be SIMPLE

This week I wanted to mention a foundational skill that all cinematographers learn over time. Use your environment to decide the placement of the keylight, color temp, quality, etc. Back lighting using a lamp or window is a great start to this concept. If you have any questions leave them below or email me.

[@TheArtofPassionNZ]

I enjoyed this bro. Appreciate it bro. I do mini doc work along with stand along show case work and I enjoy learning new ways to light my subjects for interviews.

[@emmettdixon]

Thanks for the support! Hope I could spark some ideas

[@AdityaaDawar]

love your work , wish i could be one like you

[@HenriqueSantos-ly7ve]

Hey dude!! glad I found this hidden gem, your videos are really a vibe, love the filme look + jazz combo. I have a suggestion tho! I'm having a quite hard time exposing my videos. Maybe you could do a video showing how you expose for you to get these looks! Awesome work, man

[@emmettdixon]

@@HenriqueSantos-ly7ve thank you! I’ll make a video about that very soon!

[@LabourLawAdvisor]

Great video bro, one question: Whenever we try to get creative and add some film grain to our videos YT compression makes it disappear. How do you get past that, because your grain is visible and looks undisturbed by YT. Please let me know.

[@emmettdixon]

Are you using Davincis “film grain” tool?

[@karthikyadav7286]

while watching the video i thought this is one of those 100k sub channels . content is up there man all the best with your channel and thank you for sharing info. ps I subbed!

[@emmettdixon]

Thank you so much!

[@lionel.mukendi]

Great stuff, keep it up!

[@emmettdixon]

Appreciate it!

[@emmanuelnkwocha1275]

Good job! Man this is golden! One thing I'd recommend as you practice is to consider focusing on your ratios and levels a tad bit more! That will help you have more consistent results! Also wrapping your key some more will help in shaping the face a little bit more!

[@killian2826]

Can't wait to see your work on film/doc festival, you're just fking talented, mad respect bro

[@emmettdixon]

I'm gonna tell my kids this is Danny Gevirtz

[@emmettdixon]

This is my favorite comment

[@aliecs]

I need to know who’s Danny Gevirtz so I can tell my kids.

[@therealvrp]

Dude please explain more about contrast ratios

[@emmettdixon]

Adding it to the calendar!

[@AMALHI15]

so sick brotha and great insight!! quick question, is the grain from the dehancer software itself or is it a different program/asset you use to achieve it? it looks awesome!

[@emmettdixon]

It’s from Dehancer. They sell a “grain” product by itself. I have been exclusively using that recently. Thanks for your support!

[@sothospeakingxhosa]

Good stuff. Consider using Illustrations so the audience can grasp better.

[@cineprofilmproductioncompa5069]

Great

[@srproductions5650]

very nice, what camera was used? what was used to grade also? Nice filmic look

[@emmettdixon]

Fx3 and graded with Dehancer !

[@YuiSenpai]

nice.

[@donpetrossi]

How bright are the kicker and softbox in person? Are they made dimmer in post? Seems like they're so controlled. Whereas my cheap softbox just spills around the whole room 😅

[@emmettdixon]

They are super bright because I had an ND on to get the light in the background exposed correctly. So my lights had to match the levels coming from that window. Also, all the light had grids on them(that helps a lot for control)

[@donpetrossi]

@@emmettdixon just wondering, why is an ND filter better than just making the shutter speed faster? Also what wattage lights do you recommend for indoor scenes thank you

Me too:/ easier when your in a familiar environment

@@emmettdixoncopy 🫡 I love your work. Inspiring.

[@videochild_]

Really love the way you covered this. I made my tutorial on motivating your light just a few days ago. I love to see how different creators can have such different looking videos to help make their points. Keep up the good work man 🙏🏼

[@emmettdixon]

Awesome! I’ll check it out. Thank you!
